      What were you trying to do that didn't work?

      Launch a VM in an RHEL10 host, the machine type is virt-rhel9.4.0 currently, fail to launch the VM as 'failed to find romfile "efi-virtio.rom"' because the compat setting is not applied. 

      I believe this issue will be fixed when RHEl10 has it's own qemu build, but let's track the process here.

      Please provide the package NVR for which bug is seen:

      Compose: RHEL-10.0-20240318.5

      qemu version: qemu-kvm-8.2.0-1.el10

      How reproducible:

      always

      Steps to reproduce

      1. Launch a guest with basic qemu command line
        /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -M virt -cpu host 

      Expected results

      The guest can be launched.

      Actual results

      qemu-kvm: failed to find romfile "efi-virtio.rom"
